Advanced Sound Control

Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and
subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment,
you need to register the speaker selection settings of
your audio system. If you buy this receiver with
accompanied speaker package, then this step has
been done for you.

Also, to make the surround sound more effective and
suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room,
you need to delay the signal from some of the speak-
ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or
surround speakers that are closer to listening position
than the front speakers. You can make use of the
SETUP button to adjust the speakers’ relative loud-
ness.

The TEST TONE button

You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual
speakers by the TEST TONE button. In Dolby modes,
press the button briefly. A short noise will be heard
in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the
noise at that moment will be shown in the display.

You can listen to that speaker and press first the
LEVEL button, then the VOLUME UP/DOWN
ARROW on remote or the VOLUME knob to adjust
the level.

N O T E

• The sub-woofer selection will always be YES
when the main speakers are set to small
(SML).
• For the subwoofer phase setting, it will be
affected by how you locate the subwoofer.
Try both + and - settings and select the one
that has better bass effect.
• If your unit comes with speakers, always set
all speakers size to “small” to protect them
and optimize the sound quality.
• To avoid th setting of invalid speaker com-
bination which may cause bad sound quality,
the speaker combination will be automatically
changed to the default setting (L/R: small,
Cent: small, Surr: small, Sub: Yes) if L/R speak-
er is changed from Large to Small. Under
default setting, only Cent/Surr speaker could
be changed to "No”.
